What if you gave such salary cap for each of the 5 big leagues?

[@nobis-elenduchukwudalu7059]

Would love to watch this

[@tevezskeen]

This would be fantastic. Should even European football out a lot

[@Unhealthyflax]

Would love to see what league would take top spot

[@TiAgo-FM]

@@tevezskeen portuguese league probably

[@PAINNN666]

They go to China Turkey Russia)

[@ChrisHockman]

Fun fact. Perth Glory DID breach the salary cap in the A-League. Got docked 17 points. Would love to see you do the reverse, ditch the salary cap in Australia

[@doss.360]

ditch the salary cap and we'd be able to bring in so many Daniel Sturridges

[@timothyquirk7693]

Seeing Cardiff have a player with 198 potential ability is fucking wild.

[@PAINNN666]

Madonna-Maradonna 😂

[@pigwithmustache]

Thanks for the shoutout, Tom! It was really interesting seeing the effects of the salary cap. I can't wait for more videos on this!

[@lindanib541]

05:58 this brought a smile to my face, I was expecting a "Lincoln has been relegated, you hate to see it" lol

[@NatDoa]

I love the idea of having a salary cap but it works for leagues like NBA because it's tied to the league revenue but more importantly, there's only 1 league to manage. It would be impossible to manage individual league salary caps in soccer, especially in Europe due to continental cups etc. Even if the leagues had their own caps, because the higher cap league would attract the best players, Champions League would be even more dominated by bigger clubs. So it'd be a rich gets richer situation. It was a great video Tom, thank you

[@TomFM]

Strangely enough I was watching some videos on the NBA salary cap earlier. I really like the idea but it would be so difficult to implement in European football.

[@trollabearcentral2121]

@@TomFM There is a salary cap in La Liga.

[@vedantdivekar2371]

9:18 Italian youngster Denis Madonna 198 PA in Championship side Cardiff. Salary cap is crazy…

[@darthurza]

I'd love to see video where the same salary cap is applied to every country that participates in UEFA competitions. Everything under 75M € / year. How talent would distribute when everyone is on equal ground..em, sky limit?

[@thijshoeve9175]

Everyone moving to Saudi Arabia 😂😂

[@davidlevin9351]

did you look deeper into lincoln city to see if they were a yo-yo club? maybe they did better than you imagined? love your videos..very creative

[@nathanb286]

Imagine getting 44 points in a season when usually 40 points is more than enough to survive, and coming bottom of the league

[@josiahblake357]

I want to see a worldwide salary cap, and not just in an experiment, because it might make the top football leagues more competitive generally, like the championship.

[@sparkomarco6447]

Now do it for all the European leagues and see if players will flock to other parts of the world for more money or would the elite players just start accepting lower and lower wages to stay in the big European leagues.

[@saltybfm]

Honourable mention to Slough getting to mid table Championship in that season Lincoln got promoted! 😮

[@flak509]

Good for Lincoln lol A question that comes to me is if there was a wage cap for the 20 biggest leagues in Europe but like the Scottish or Danish leagues didn't have a wage cap, would that start to funnel big players into those leagues over time?

[@HistorysRaven]

Would you ever consider doing an experiment with the MLS where you take off our salary cap? There isn't pro/rel, but I'd be interested in seeing if that increases the league prestige.

[@lukekennedy8588]

As a Blackpool fan seeing them go up with Lincoln had me buzzing with you

[@kevinjenkins6657]

Would love to see a video, where there's a salary cap on all major leagues bar Greece for example. Would be interesting to see if they could start pulling players with money.

[@Bobo1993ization]

9:12 Denis Maradona with potential of 198 🤯

[@macario8836]

All the combined potential of Dennis Bergkamp and Diego Maradona into one... ofc his PA is that high!

[@KingFahtah]

I'd like to see this with all top five leagues at once, maybe portugal too. Hilarity ensues.

[@joaooonuno]

Would be fantastic to see clubs having to register like 18 players formed in the club or the country

[@indrajeetkane1543]

How has this affected the international scenario? That would be a great shoutout.

[@kesh99]

Would be interesting to see how the clubs would spend after getting rid of the salary cap given Fulham have 1B in the bank

[@darthvulture]

try one with salary cap on the entire top 10 leagues to see if that changes alot

[@trentonsmith702]

I could see that you were proud of that segue for the onefootbal ad. 😂 good one tom

[@ianbors]

For your next experiment. You can give a billion to a one-league-club, a 100k stadium to another, perfect facilities to the third and perfect player(s) to the fourth. And then watch whitch one develops the best.

[@A.Theaker]

Would love to see the big five and/or all leagues having the same cap

[@danidish2342]

How about giving big european competitions like the champions league and europa league a salary cap?

[@FozzQuaker]

I saw a video recently about the lowest paid players in The Premier League...The lowest paid player was a Bournemouth Player and he was pretty much on minimum wage

[@doctormarky]

Would love to know how the UK nations have been effected by most of their players now playing abroad.

[@hectorae86]

This actually makes things about equal to how they were before the Premier league was formed

[@nathanguillaume1247]

This is why the MLS needs to get rid the f the salary cap eventually

[@oldthingsare]

Experiment idea, apologies if already done. Could you potentially get a second tier league above a top tier league and how long would it take, what manipulation would it take? So for example could you place a transfer embargo on all Premiership teams and destroy facilities. Embargo all teams in the championship, give them perfect squads and perfect facilities. Although I'm not sure if it would be doable and see if the championship through competition wins could over take the prem or break into the top 5 leagues.

[@thatissomeBS]

And the biggest fan of the new salary cap? The owners, who now get to keep that cash. Realistically, if there were a salary cap, it would probably line up with the TV revenues and be roughly £1.7mm/week or so.

[@alsandair2322]

been loving the switch to challenge vids on yt while keeping the careers going on twitch tom, good work

[@JokerOrTickle]

Man doing what FIFA & other associations should be doing overall but even 10K is a stretch, 2K a week is enough

[@Noticer333]

How do you add a salary cap?

[@FozzQuaker]

So the Premier League effectively becomes a Nursery for Ligue Un and La Liga

[@Mr_jz_12]

12:00 whats the the league reputation for the champions league as opposed to the league. Maybe thats why the players are there. The CL reputation is was more than the league.

[@UFRLF1Viva]

Would be cool to do this for all the top flights in Europe... Where would the best players go? 🤣

[@MrHoopski]

what would be good would be, the top 5 or 6 league with the same prize money and TV but at around 25% of what it is so around 25 mill tv money a season and 25 mill completion prize money for leagues

[@art3mis02]

I was wondering what might occur if teams could only have players who are of that nationality? E.G. Bayern could only play german players, PSG only french etc.

[@atkireacts8380]

If you can, add rules to every league in Europe where teams can only play players from their own nationality

[@db7312]

And that is why you can’t implement a salary cap in England - as you’d lose all the top players abroad, and you don’t really get *that* much change at the top. Did England’s international team improve however?

[@TheMrKrist]

Salary Cup for top5 will be great

[@Alphoric]

If you want to see a close table league 1 and 2 are usually close

[@vincentbelda1542]

Hi Tom, how did you lanage to get the Man Utd logo in? Even with logo packs I still don't have it. Nice video, as usual!

[@krisr3868]

Why does the Monaco player at 9:08 not play in any division? And do appearance/unused sub fees count towards the salary cap?

[@celticbhoysmith]

@5:10 you can’t see the league table

[@connorjones9314]

Everton always are shocking with every experiment perhaps FM are writing their real life fortunes 🤣🤣🤣

[@stevenalper3890]

there seems to be some pound/dollar crossover

[@JordanCCFC17]

dennis madonna for cardiff with 198 pa let’s go

[@Alphoric]

De Gea is the 2nd highest paid prem player somehow

[@catrionacolville2192]

Why does it say at 9:28 that Monaco aren't in a division?

[@tiagomagalhaes7032]

This experiment is very funny, but if we are honest it fails because the game and it's AI are not ready to handle this. The AI fails because it's clearly making bad deals, with some players earning high salaries that are not registered, it would have made more sense to sell them or just let their previous contract expire, so the game is not capable of handling salary caps correctly. Another thing that should happen is that with Premier League salaries going down, the rest of the big 5 would have their salaries going down as well, because there would be fewer clubs able to pay those high salaries, but again the game is not able to handle that. Still, it does show what everyone knows, that salary caps should be implemented as they do create more even teams on a nationa and international level. It's why mid-tier Europe clubs cannot be competitive in Champions League because they can't keep their best players, as any club in Premier is able to pay 4x their salary...

[@bnek8547]

The bottom four of that original Premier League all finished on 44 points. 😲

[@mdmorant]

What if you made the Champions League registration salary capped? Do you think that the lower league teams would be better?

[@LettucePlate]

Arsenal winning makes sense. Saka, Martinelli, and Saliba are on dirt cheap wages.

[@connorjones9314]

Hahaha Chelsea need to think ahead and I think there will be some sort of salary cap in the premier league in few years

[@afookingspoon920]

In total out of the big six, only Chelsea and spurs we're relegated from what it looks like
